This paper presents a didactic approach for initial science teacher education on the nature of science (NDC) using the history of science (HDC). This approach is developed through a reflective reading of stories about cases and controversies from HDC, which has been made by the authors of this work. A brief description of the stories and the methodological strategy for its implementation in the classroom are included. Also, the qualitative assessment of the participants’ reflections through a rubric with levels of progression is described.

Keywords : Science education; Teacher education; History of science; Nature of science.
